Good Men vs Form Of Gov't. Merle Riche The cry of "good government" will be heard all throughout this valley for the next few weeks. This old world has been going around long enough for nearly every form of government to have be n tried. Salt Lake County need not be a battleground for the. different tvoes automatically Dy virtue oi re-ceiving the greatest number of votes. He is usually the ceremonial head of the government but has no more administrative duties than have his colleagues on the council. This plan is used by many cities and has some notable achievements to its credit and so long as good men can work to-gether, there is no reason why it should not succeed. There is another plan, the city manager plan. This consists of a small elective council and a professional chief executive that is chosen by it. The council does legislative work and the manager all the administering. The man-ager's term of office may be for a given number of years or until the council wishes to make a change. On the other hand, the manager expects from the council free hand in administration, ap-pointments, removals and the ex-ecutive end of the government. Herein lies the danger. But as we said in the beginning, almost any kind of government will work with good men at the helm. of government. None has yet been found perfect. The important thing is the caliber of men standing in the ad-ministrative and legislative po-sitions. Nevertheless, there are those who would like to change our form of government here in Salt Lake City, To govern cities there is the so-call- ed stronarmayor type of government, the weak --mayor type, the commission plan and the city-manag- er plan. You might say we have the weak-may- or type in our city, the original form of muni-cipal government in our country. Here the mayor is a member of the council, with some administra-taiv- e powers, but his authority is not extensive or complete and he is primarily an honorific per-sonage and an administrative figurehead. The strong-may- or type would give the chief executive a wide authority over the administration of city departments and programs while the council would confine itself to legislation and general surveillance. His powers, the mayor's, would include direction of all municipal departments, sub-mission of budgets and programs to the council, the power of ap-pointment and removal, with the more important appointments requiring council approval, a chairmanship of or participation in council meetings, power of veto, though the council mav overrule by a two-thir- ds or three-fourt- hs vote, the duty of representing the city and acting as its ceremonial head. In the commission plan, all of the members of the city council are administrators of the public business as well as legislators, with the posts divided into public affairs, accounts and finance, pub-lic safety, streets and public im-- - provements, and parks and public property, etc. The terms of office are staggered so that there will be some degree of continuity. In some cities candidates run for particular administrative posts, but more often they are elected to department headships by ma-jority vote of the council itself. . The plan is aimed at securing a businesslike management of public affairs and at getting businessmen into local government. Candidates are usually nominated by citizen petition or on a nonpartisan ballot. The safeguards of recall and the initiative and referendum are-sometim-es provided. One member of the council usually acts as mayor being chosen by popular election or Who Deserves Your Vote? The present City Administration has received considerable criti-cism, no doubt some of it justified, some not. Regardless of how a person feels about our city government, now is the time to exercise your right to vote and make your wishes known and choose the type of leader you desire to head our city affairs. Choosing the right man for your vote is a great responsibility. To deserve a vote a man should have a high standard of honesty and integrity. His principles of life should be of the finest and he should be ready to stand up for these principles in the fire of opposition. It is best if he has already proven himself in public administration. His interest in the public good and efficiency of government should be uppermost at all times. Firm confidence in self but toned with humility is an essential. Readiness to devote his time and effort for the good of others should be a normal way of life for an official. He should have tolerance for the whims and frailties of the human race. All of this may sound some what too glorified for a human to at-tain but there are men running for public office in this election that have a majority of these characteristics. Look them all over and chose wisely for our votes will determine our government. T N Legals NOTICE TO CREDITORS: Estate of Mary E. Bean deceased.

Salt Lake City, Utah SUBSCRIBE TO THE INDEPENDENT A Work-a-D- ay Pattern Of Living Arthur M. Richardson When, we get interested in people the world is our laboratory. Two billion of us. scurrying and scampering around twenty-fo- ur hours a day, can make a pretty lively place to live, can make a pretty lively study. As Gracie Allen once said: "Nobody has so much fun as PeInasmuch as we live in a world of people, whether we like it or not, we have to adjust to them. The way we do it, however, is not to under-stand people as a whole, as a group, as a race, people in general-b- ut rather, we must know them as individuals. Therefore, to begin the study let's focus our sights on that part of the world in which we find ourselves and even more particularly let's look at ourselves. Because if we will understand ourselves we will never be misunderstood by Eachperson needs a work-a-da- y pattern of living for himself. That pattern can best be furnished by personology the science that gives those who study it triple-action-tracti- on against the skids of personality. It shows you how you are BUILT to function- - how strong you are in your emotions, how sharp you are in your judgment, how dexterous you are physically. What are your particular vocational aptitudes, your sensitivity, your amount of ideas, your ability to carry through, to handle money, how critical you are, how well you analyze, whether you are a leader or a follower. The interesting thing about it is that all of these personality traits, and many more, may be told to you without you having to be asked one single question. The personological analysis is made scientifically through anthro-pometric measurements-- - body measurements. After years of intensive research and extensive scientific application and comparison it has beenproven that the genetic and acquired basic personality, tempera-ment, and aptitude characteristics can be determined by body measure-ments. As the Gelsell Institute of Yale University says, rJehavior is a function of structure." In other words, we act the way we are built to act. There is nothing fatalistic about this belief, however. For once we have determined what our basic genetic pattern is. we can go about to direct our actions so that all of our traits of character run interference for us instead of interfering with us. This is progress. measure which will go a long way toward creating more deficits, ul-timate higher taxes, and further degeneration of the dollar's worth. The budget can be balanced. Inflation can be checked. But it is going to take the kind of public support for economy that members of Congress, on both sides of the aisles, can really see, feel and understand to bring this about. Cheers for What? There can be small doubt that President Eisenhower's attempt to balance the budget and prevent further inflation--whic- h is clearly the most pressing and urgent of all domestic issues--ha- s captured the support of the nation. The polls show that. But, as Congress' action on the public works bill proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, the line between a balanced and deficit budget is ominously thin. The public works bill is a pork-barr- el bill in the classic manner. It provides money for projects in virtually every Con-gressional district, and many of these are unnecessary, un-desirable, and represent a cynical political desire to spend because spending is supposed to produce votes. The President vetoed the first version of this bill, and was upheld by the margin of a single vote in the House. The second version, which differed only in unimportant particulars from the first, was also vetoed. But this veto was over-ridd- en with votes to spare. Press reports say that, when the tabulation was announced, the House greeted the news with cheers and wild applause. Time may prove that that greeting was for a Hard to Recognize In one of its advertisements on behalf of U.S. Savings Bonds, the Treasury saluted the light and power industry. It said: "Every time we filp on a light or enjoy the comforts of a home appliance, we can thank the electric light and power industry for making this convenience possible. Hun-dreds of thousands of our fellow Americans are proud of their work in the generation and distribution of electricity for our homes, and our industries." All very true--an- d the Treasury Could have added that the industry pays taxes to the tune of more than a, billion a year. However, there is an irony in this tribute that deserves mentioning. Other branches- and agencies of the government are doing their best to destroy the taxpaying, busines-s- managed utility companies by socializing them, andputting huge monolithic government mono-polies in their places. On top- - of that, one very important agency of government-th- e Internal Revenue Service aided and abetted by the Federal Power Commission--ha- s held that certain ittility advertising cannot be con-sidered a business expense for in-come tax purposes. This ad-vertising opposes socialization. So, to all intents and purposes the government has decided that a great industry cannot present its case in a battle for survival ex-cept at a heavy tax penalty. It's hard to reconcile this with the Savings Bond advertisement. |
